How does it do for pet hair on hardwood and is there a good attachment that works well for pet hair on furniture?

I don't have hardwood floors, so can't answer that part, but I do have a German Shepherd (indoor/outdoor doggie), and HE is the reason I got the Dyson! I use the upholstery attachment on my cotton slip-covered sofa and for harder to maneuver areas, I use the narrower nozzle--they both seem do do the trick!! The suction power is so superior, and contributes so much to the effort. I do the same with auto upholstery and get great results.

Ms Chavez, I have to agree with the first two replies there really isn't a suitable tool that removes hair. Having been a long time Dyson owner, I really hoped my new vacuum would fit my requirements, but it completely fails. Good luck.

I have a black lab who sheds quite a lot and this vacuum is mediocre at best. We also have an old dirt devil that we paid like 40 bucks for that gets it up much better. Overall I am not impressed with the Dyson vacuum especially to the tune of 300 dollars...

If you vacuum a small amount of hair only on the hardwood, I would hope the function would be adequate, but I've found mine is marginal and inconsistent. There really isn't an attachment to help with furniture. It's sad to have such a clear failure from Dyson. I was previously a huge fan.

there is no attachment it does not work well on pet hair it blows it all around. It does not work on furniture..For the price you pay it does nothing but frustrate and make extra work for busy people

If your sets of stairs aren't too high, the wand will probably extend enough for you to clean them from the bottom. A stair attachment is included. This vacuum works GREAT for animal fur and hair, we have two long haired cats and a dog that sheds a lot. Only problem I have with mine is that it is the high maintenance girlfriend of vacuums, have to clear dust and fur out of lots of little nooks and crannies all over the vacuum every week or two or it builds up and interferes with regular operation. But it's worth the effort. After a year of service it's still going strong, and I fully expect it to last several more years.

I just use it to comb out my cavalier. I can't see using it to get hair off the furniture. It's a comb not a brush.

it works great, i have a basset hound and her hair sticks to everything. The turbo brush attachment gets it off couches easily. I think it is worth it.

This vacuum is great on hard surfaces for pet hair. If the pet hair is typically hard to vacuum up because it is on cloth or carpet, not so great. It works very good to pick up loose crumbs on carpet, though. I have two cats that shed and I wholeheartedly recommend, instead, the Eureka EasyClean 71B corded handheld vacuum for pet hair on furniture. It is the only vacuum that will pick up cat hair on my velour couches because of the strong suction and rotating brushes. It is extremely important to clean the filter to keep the suction strong on both of these handheld vacuums. The filter on this Black and Decker CHV1410L is underneath the green filter cover that twists off. The easiest and most effective way to clean the filters for me is to use a shop vac on them. Of course, any vacuum with a hose attachment would work.

I find that the Roomba 630 does a better job of picking up dog hair. I have three small terriers that shed and will sometimes run my Roomba 2x a day and each time the compartment is full of hair and small pieces of dirt/dog food. The Roomba is a MUST for any pet owner. I don't know how I survived without it. I have wood floors and it runs for about 1 hour to clean the whole bottom floor. Afterwards I walk around Barefoot without anything on my feet.

I have 2 Golden Retrievers, and 4 cats. The attachment that came with the pet version does a great job removing hair from furniture. It has no problem getting hair off the carpet. The canister does fill up quickly but so far I have saved a lot of money not buying vacuum bags. I used to have to clean the beater bar often with my old Hoover. For some reason this one doesn't get the hair tangled around it.

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

I have used this vac on upholstered furniture with very good results. This is a powerful little vac but keep in mind that the brush head is very small so cleaning a large item will be time consuming.

its not bad at all, it has a separate attachment for hardwood floors. i use it all the time on my hardwood and stone floors..picks up everything. it leaves the floor clean and ready for a quick mop. the best thing is that its also flat enough to go underneath sofas and furnitures.

I like it for my wood floors but don't like it for carpets. I have a lot of dog hair and it is very difficult to get most of it up. (I can't get it all) My sister has a Miele which cost about $1,200 but it works wonderfully on wood floors and carpets.

Cat hairs: terrific. I have two cats and it was able to get a bunch off from carpet about 3 hours after I had vacuumed with my old vacuum. Best vacuum I have ever had for hairs. It does okay on my two rooms that have vinyl. One is my bathroom and it picks up all the litter around the litter pan. The brush attachment works well on hairs on furniture. There is nothing I dislike about this vacuum. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy, but it is still very easy to push. Hopes this helps.

Best for wood floors. Brush head is not motorized so its not good for carpet.. I have jute rugs, good for that.

It does work for pet hair but I think you'd be better off with something more powerful, less portable, and longer lasting for a sofa.

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

I purchased it for the same purpose. The cat hair on the back of my couch is very difficult to remove. I have used this attachment for about a year and feel it handles the cleaning job fairly well. It's a fairly powerful tool with good suction and a powerful rotating brush. I'd recommend it.
